ILHAM ALIYEV MAKING DIVING LINES
YEREVAN, JUNE 29. ARMINFO. President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev is
sure in possibility of settling the Karabakh conflict and wants to
achieve it in a peace way. Ilham Aliyev expressed such an opinion in
his interview to the TV channel SNN-Turk.
In his opinion, the issue must be settled between Armenia and
Azerbaijan. "The given format is determined and the negotiations
are held just in this format. Armenia insistently tries to involve
Nagony Karabakh into the process, but we are against it." He explains
such position of Baku by the fact that the "lands were occupied by
Karabakh and not Armenia." The president thinks the present meetings on
settlement of the conflict are in a positive directions. He explains
it by the fact that "the international organizations and the OSCE
MG engaged in the given issue have understood that Azerbaijan will
never yield Nagorny Karabakh and will never put with the violation
of its territorial integrity." In this connection, Ilham Aliyev
expresses readiness to provide Armenians residing in Karabakh
a status of high autonomy and ensure their security. "Including
jointly with international organizations. But Nagorny Karabakh is an
Azerbaijani land. The sovereignty of Azerbaijan must not be violated
and territorial integrity must be restored," he says.
Not confused with his own illogic, Ilham Aliyev says that "400,000
Armenia live in Georgia, and they do not demand independence. They
live also 500,000 Azerbaijanis and they do not demand anything
either." Developing his idea, President Aliyev says "if Armenians
want to create an autonomy in all the states they reside, a dozen
of Armenian states will occur in the world. It is illogic and
contradicts to the International Law." He also says "there are
hopes in the negotiation process, but I cannot say whether there is
progress." "Progress will be when we achieve agreements on this or
another issue. There are hopes as the processes in the world are
not in favor of Armenians, The political picture in the region is
changing. Azerbaijan as part of the EuroAtlantic community supports
very close ties with NATO, European Union, USA. Armenia wages other
policy and its allies are on the other side," Aliyev explains.
